Speaking of Farscape . . .

[jal]

really? where?

think it was Sky One in the UK, i was channel hopping at the time: "Best 10 Moments In SciFi" or something like that (Hal dying in 2001 was #1).

Joe looks like JMS... but with more hair.

p.s. Farscape was a great show.... and i just spotted Joe Nazzaro on television talking about Daleks.

really? where?

I'm sure that huge crossover fan base was getting confused....I'd brag about WWE making more money than "WWF," but due to some stories about dubious corporate "contributions," it's quite possible that the panda people are up there, so to speak.

errr..... i don`t actually know or understand what you are saying in that statement.

about frelling time the WWF got their name back (which they had been using since 1961) from the silly amateur dramatics society that people call wrestling.

That's WWE, because some lame int'l animal group called World Wildlife Fund finally won a twenty-year long court battle over the "WWF" moniker. I would love to see this eco-terrorist group shut down for causing me great pain by forcing me to watch old school WWF shows with the logo blurred out.

It's amazing how the ratings have dropped, though, and not because of the Benoit murders, but rather because of the downright awfulness of the show.

I would say that it started going down after Paul Heyman was fired. but I have stopped watching wrestling mostly because the poor quality of wrestling on TV and also because of Benoit murdering his wife and son, but I think that is for another thread.

You really don't need to be interested in Wrestling to wonder why the SciFi Channel would show it.

The fact that I couldn't get the initials right just shows how little I actually care about the subject of pro wrestling and even less about its presence on Sci-Fi.

Er...

And you are several rungs above myself on the caste ladder.

and even less about its presence on Sci-Fi.

Yet you were trying to "figure out" why they show it...?

that is an extremly* sad commentary

What's even more sad is that despite the relatively high ratings, wrestling doesn't generate ad revenue because advertisers have a prejudiced view of what the wrestling fan is. When Raw on USA was going insane numbers in '98 and '99, it didn't matter much because the ad revenue just wasn't coming in. I'd wager that the average wrestling fan has more disposable income than Sci-Fi's viewer base, but you can't tell that to ad execs. Wrestling fans are snaggletoothed welfare recipients as far as they're concerned.

Personally, I'm still trying to figure out why they show WWF wrestling.

And the practical reason for Sci-Fi showing ECW is that Sci-Fi and USA are under the same banner and the Sci-Fi brass wanted the show. It's amazing how the ratings have dropped, though, and not because of the Benoit murders, but rather because of the downright awfulness of the show.

Thanks for that link. I hadn't heard of that project, but I will definitely be keeping my ears open. Both Browder and Prowse are very nice guys, so it's nice to see they've got another project in the works.
